Turbulent Channel Flow with an Artificial Two-Dimensional Wall Layer

Turbulent flow of an incompressible fluid in a plane channel with parallel walls is considered. The three-dimensional time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations are solved numerically using the spectral finite-difference method. An artificial force which completely suppresses lateral oscillations of the velocity is introduced in the near-wall zone (10 % of the channel half-width in the neighborhood of each wall). Thus, the three-dimensional flow zone, in which turbulent oscillations can develop, is separated from the wall by a fluid layer. It is found that the elimination of three-dimensionality in the neighborhood of the walls leads to a significant reduction in the drag. However, complete laminarization does not occur. The flow in the stream core remains turbulent and can be interpreted as a turbulent flow in a channel with walls located on the boundary of the two-dimensional layer and traveling at the local mean-flow velocity. The oscillations developing inside the two-dimensional layer, which have significant amplitude, distort the flow only in the adjacent zone. Beyond this zone the distributions of the mean characteristics and the structure of instantaneous fields completely correspond to ordinary turbulent flow in a channel with rigid walls. The results obtained confirm the hypothesis of the unimportance of the no-slip boundary conditions for the fluctuating velocity component in the mechanism of onset and self-maintenance of turbulence in wall flows.     

Transient gas flow simulation using an Adaptive Method of LinesSimulation d'écoulements dans un gazoduc par la méthode adaptative de lignes

Designing natural gas pipelines to safely and efficiently handle unsteady flows, requires knowledge of pressure drop, flowrate and temperature distribution throughout the system. The accurate prediction of these parameters is essential in order to achieve optimum cumulative deliverability, and safe and reliable operation. An Adaptive Method of Lines algorithm is formulated for the solution of Euler system of equations, which fully simulates slow and fast transients. Two test cases present the improvement of the numerical solution from grid adaptation. Good results are obtained both for slow and fast transients simulations proving that the suggested numerical procedure is appropriate for such predictions. To cite this article: E. Tentis et al., C.

Characteristic solutions of scalar newton equations in one space dimension

Newton equations are dynamical systems on the space of fields. The solutions of a given equation which are curves of characteristic fields for its force are planar and have constant angular momentum. Separable solutions are characteristic with angular momentum equal to zero. A Newton equation is separable if and only if its characteristic equation is homogeneous. Separable equations correspond to invariants of homogeneous ordinary differential equations, and those associated with a given homogenous equation correspond to its generalized dilation symmetries. A Newton equation is compatible with the characteristic condition if and only if its characteristic equation is linear. Such equations correspond to invariants of linear ordinary differential equations. Those associated with a given linear equation correspond to the central force problems on its solution space. Regardless of compatibility, any Newton equation with a plane of characteristic fields has non-separable characteristic solutions.

Local fracture resistance based on microstructural efficiency concept and simulation of injection molding

Local fracture resistance (FR) of short (SGF) and discontinuous long glass fibre (LGF) reinforced polypropylene (PP) was predicted using the ‘microstructural efficiency concept’ together with a simulation program for fibre orientation in injection molding. The ‘microstructural efficiency concept’ describes the relation between microstructural parameters such as the fibre content, the fibre aspect ratio and the processing (injection molding) induced layer structure taking also into account the local fibre orientation. The local fibre orientation in injection molding was predicted with the MOLDFLOW^®-software. The predicted local FR was compared with the measured one, which was determined by using compact tension samples and linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). The comparison showed, that for SGF-PP good consistence between the predicted and measured FR existed, for LGF-PP the discrepancy was higher. Yet for both materials, the ‘microstructural efficiency concept’ together with the results obtained from the simulation of the fibre orientation can be used for FR prediction of an injection molded workpiece.

ON THE METHOD OF ORTHOGONALITY CONDITIONS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF LARGE DEFLECTION OF CIRCULAR PLATE

In this paper,we reexamine the method of successive approximation presented byProf.Chien Wei-zang for solving the problem of large deflection of a circular plate,and findthat the method could be regarded as the method of strained parameters in the singularperturbation theory.In terms of the parameter representing the ratio of the centerdeflection to the thickness of the plate,we make the asymptotic expansions of thedeflection,membrane stress and the parameter of load as in Ref.[1],and then give theorthogonality conditions(i.e.the solvability conditions)for the resulting equations,bywhich the stiffness characteristics of the plate could be determined.It is pointed out thatwith the solutions for the small deflection problem of the circular plate and theorthogonality conditions,we can derive the third order approximate relations between theparameter of load and the center deflection and the first-term approximation of membranestresses at the center and edge of the plate without solving the differential equ
